The UPS plugin uses the shop’s origin entered in the WooCommerce settings at WooCommerce → Settings → General → Store Address by default.

Custom Origin is fully optional for WooCommerce 3.2 and later releases. If, for some reason, your shop still uses the WooCommerce pre-3.2 version, defining the Custom Origin in the plugin settings above is mandatory.
Please be advised that each shipping method that uses UPS plugin can have its own Custom Origin. To learn more about Multiple Custom Origins feature – read this article →
